Hosiery That 
Pleases Everybody 
Fleece-lined hosiery, to be com¬ 
fortable, must be heavy. That’s 
why Mother always buys Durable- 
Durham Fleece-lmed Hosiery for 
everybody in the family. It has 
the substantial weight to protect 
in the coldest weather, the fleece 
is soft and silky and the cost is 
but 25 cents a pair. 
DURABLE 
DURHAM HOSIERY 
FOR MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN 
Js Made Strongest 
Where the Wear is Hardest 
Not only is Durable-DURHAM made in 
fleece-lined, but also for all occasions and 
all seasons. It gives better wear, feels 
better and looks better. That’s because of 
the strongly reinforced heels, soles and 
toes; the full-length legs; the wide elastic 
top that can’t be pulled off or torn by gar- 
ters; the smooth, seamless and 
even feet and toes; the correctly 
marked sizes, and the way the fa¬ 
mous Durham dyes are fast—colors will 
not fade or turn green from wearing 
or washing; quality is uniform through¬ 
out 
Durable-DURHAM Hosiery is made in all 
weights for all seasons of the year and 
sells for 15,19,25 and 35c.

With Pulver’d Limestone 
Sour soil cuts down the yield of corn—prevents 
clover and alfalfa from growing. Ground lime¬ 
stone will sweeten sour soils—make soils hold 
more and give out more moisture and plant 
food. The cheapest way to get ground lime¬ 
stone is to imlverize it with 
She leffrenl ^^Pyi^ R

limestone. Double the 
fertility of your soil.
